The World’s Best Vegan Recipe Blogs

Vegan Raspberry Cake (Rainbow Nourishments)

There are thousands and thousands of vegan recipe blogs on the planet, and we like to think that we know where the best ones are! So we’ve gone off foraging and come back with a list of blogs you’ll love.

Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets.

All these blogs have a few things in common:

Most are beautifully designed and easy to read (we’ve also included a few ‘plain Jane’ blogs below with less flashy photos, as they have super-short affordable recipes that you’ll love). So simple, you can just write them down in a recipe journal to cook again and again.

Importantly, the recipes are:

Using (mostly) natural ingredients. Occasionally a little vegan cheese et al is added, but overall these blogs focus on real food for affordability.
Well-written. You’d be surprised! There’s no point having a blog when the writing and recipes are too messy, and the font is difficult to read.
Short ingredients lists, that are easy to find. That’s a no-brainer. You won’t have to run to 10 different health shops, to make these recipes.
Affordable. Ditto. People are on tight budgets these days. So the recipes have to be more affordable than ready-meals in budget supermarkets.

Sarah’s Vegan Recipes is a lovely simple site, by the author of the book Bangin’ Beans! The site is simple but beautifully-laid out with easy affordable recipes that make use of everyday ingredients. Try this recipe for Bruschetta Pasta.

Rainbow Nourishments is a dessert blog (with a few savoury recipes) by a wonderful Aussie baker. Even her most elaborate recipes break things down into simple steps, and only need a few ingredients. Try her pineapple-upside-down cake.

Jo’s Kitchen Larder is as lovely blog from a native, with recipes you likely grew up with. This is the kind of food that you’re going to cook and bake everyday. Try her lentil and spinach lasagne.

Vegan on Board is run by a couple who love travelling in their campervan, so the recipes have to be easy by default! Try this vegan shepherd’s pie.

Parsley Soup is a very plain site by a woman who went vegan when Internet was still dial-up and ‘being vegan was weird’. For that reason, these recipes are very traditional (English) and only need a few ingredients.

Exploring Vegan is an amazing blog by the author of a 5-ingredient cookbook. She writes the recipes, her husband does the techy stuff. Everything uses real ingredients like this recipe for roasted gnocchi with shallots.

Katy Beskow is one of England’s top vegan cookbook writers. Many of the recipes from her books are shared on her site like these lemon drizzle squares.

Unicorn Grocery is Manchester’s vegan supermarket, and has a lovely suite of simple recipes, mostly using seasonal produce.

Rainbow Plant Life is a little more elaborate, by an American who switched from law to food. Her recipes are quite long and detailed. But once mastered, they will become staples. Try her vegan roast potatoes and apple crisp.

Happy Vegannie!
